Mine was originally a ROM lens, now converted to 3-cam. You can also have the SL's 2nd cam added and the SL's flange milled slightly (generally invisible); with these two modifications the lens can be used on the SL and will still have the ROM contacts. Don Goldberg agrees that it should work, and that the modifications are very simple and safe.
